Why the Olympics still possesses a doping concern

.NOT SO LONG ago it seemed to be that the Olympics was actually winning its own battle with drug cheats. Retests of samples from rivals at the Beijing as well as London games resulted in greater than one hundred champions being disqualified for doping. This tally highlighted the prevalence of drugtaking in Olympic sports, but likewise the effectiveness of anti-doping authorities. The creation of the Globe Anti-Doping Firm (WADA) in 1999 had shown that the sports world was serious about ending dishonesty. Prominent dopers, such as Marion Jones, a United States athlete, were reprimanded retroactively. In the meantime a new production of sportsmens like Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps broke records without the assistance of banned substances.
